I'm parking at Stanmore. We'll probably just sit and wait until it's clear and get a bite to eat. Do they split the queue for the tube after between metropolitan and jubilee lines?

I was planning on parking at Stanmore but open to suggestions.

I don't think anywhere is ideal. At the end of the day everyone has to get to wherever they park the same way. I stayed at Wembley on Friday night and got a train from Wembley station (not Wembley park tube) to Wycombe. There was the likes of Denham and Gerrards Cross on that line, but I would imagine that you queue regardless.

With a very serious point may I add. OK the coach idea was on the whole shite - worse than a typical Simon Grayson Sunderland XI. But behind it was a very deep concern. What could I do to ensure the worst does not happen? It was a coping strategy I like to think if it as. I do not intend to run out just outside of Milton Keynes - we don't know who or what lives there. I have no working concept of proper fuel consumption since the furthest I have traveled is to Croft in North Yorkshire. Once I get past Scotch Corner that is it - an all time long distance that just grows. I don't possess any working knowledge of how far a tank of fuel can get me.

If you cant beat em'......

You might laugh at this suggestion but how about using your fuel gauge to monitor your fuel consumption.

Is there any truth in what I’ve heard that on smart motorways you get done if you are clocked at 71 mph ?
And where are these smart motorways ? Part of the m1 must be, so be careful sbc.
I was told from Leeds down to Nottingham is. I was on that stretch today and stuck to 70.
Pain in the arse.

Gerrards Cross is a clever move for anyone coming down the M40.
Hillingdon a decent shout not far for those in on the M4

According to professionalmackem you can just skip between lanes and it confuses the cameras or something :)

I’m on there most days mate and can confirm I have only seen them “active” when there is a speed restriction showing on the gantry (60,50,40)
